There was plenty to be said from both managers after Chelsea legend Frank Lampard came off the bench for City and rescued us a point. Mourinho let Lampard go at the end of last season and he subsequently joined Major League Soccer Club New York before being loaned to City, but he did not want to comment on the midfielder's significant contribution to the result.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror Mourinho said;"I don't speak about players from other teams, I am sorry. I don't speak about Frank," . "To speak about Frank is to speak about my past with Frank, the player he was for what he means in my career.

"I will never tire to speak about this. The moment he is a Man City player, he is a Man City player. Mr Pellegrini, instead of speaking about other teams' players, should speak about Frank Lampard. I am Chelsea manager, I speak about my players. My players were fantastic."

Pellegrini however was more than happy to talk about Lampard's contribution.

"When I sent Lampard into the game I told him go and score. I was so sure Frank would play well against Chelsea because he is a very good professional" said the Chilean.
